Where do you start with marketing a project or product? Why, with an effective brainstorming session, of course! This week you'll learn the roles we play in groups, how to give opinions or disagree respectfully, and brainstorm phrases and techniques to make your product roll out a success. You'll see examples of prepping before a brainstorming session as Jake approaches Bridget and even some what-not-to-do's in this episode of The Challenge.

Have you ever been part of a survey? You'll see an example as the BioDent marketing team asks people from the streets opinions about their product. Effective presentations and surveys first start with clear and easy to understand visuals. In this week's lessons we'll explore graphs, charts and questions to create strong surveys. We'll learn the importance of interpreting these charts and graphs accurately before presenting them with confidence.

Good design is invisible. But, how do we make it so? This week's lessons consist of graphic design, perception, concise language and how to make our marketing meaningful and memorable. Take time to notice the beginning stages of good design during a focus group as you enjoy The Challenge sketch.
